Nick Clegg, freshly installed as deputy PM and resplendent in liberal yellow tie has told us, "this is what new politics looks like." Excuse me for thinking it looks shockingly old hat.
As always, political avarice is the name of the game, with the Lib Dems grabbing unwaranted cabinet posts, hand over fist. It's not the self-serving, power grabbing, but the barefaced hypocrisy that bothers me.
The Lib Dem machine has the Conservatives over a barrel regarding proportional representation.
And yet, they have slyly suceeded in negotiating an obvious over-representaion (in numbers, at least) in the cabinet, despite their claimed passion for fairness.
